Episode description

In 2007, as reality TV was becoming a thing, MTV had a big idea - what if we took an up and coming rock band, forced them to live together for 30 days while they write a new album, and streamed the entire thing on the Internet? That's a great idea, right?! Right…?

The classic movie Space Jam is getting a reboot, with Lebron James teaming up with the Looney Tunes Gang instead of Michael Jordan. Can the new version have the same impact as the first? How has the original Space Jam held up? And what about that rumored NASCAR version - Race Jam, starring Jeff Gordon?

We just waved goodbye to yet another Fourth of July holiday season and the countless fireworks tents that now retreat into hibernation until next year. Where do they come from?  Where do they go? We call an expert to get the inside  (and gross) details on working at a seasonal fireworks tent.
